Pls i need urgent help, I cant add new user nor are the existing user being controlled. I a m getting the erropr message “database disk image is malformed” in the log continuously. attached also is a screen shot of the error message.
I have try rebuilding the database but still the same.
The MT Router and the Userman are running on a HP latext branded system with 250G of Hard drive and 1M of RAM.
I have new clients and i can’t add them, b-cos of this problem. What should i do i avoid reinstalling? in fact, re-installing is suicidal. and if that is the only option, would the problem not persist if i restore the backup?
I reinstalled the router but lost all in the database because reimporting the database still give the same error, meaning that the database was already corrupt before the last backup.
I suffered that problem a couple of times using versions prior to 3.22.
Contact Mikrotik support attaching a supout file, explain the problem and they may will recover your database. Then import again using a recent Usermanager (3.22 and up).
I detected this happened when a <3.22 UserManager was improperly powered off. Now, as long as it seems to be solved I am still afraid it could happen again, so I mantain a daily backup sent to a GMail account (>2.7GB storage) using my own SMTP server. Every some random weeks, I restore the last backup, and see if it works and then i delete the backups older than a week.
